EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning fashion plate, created by John Bell in the early 1810s, showcases an elegant ball gown from the Regency era of Britain. The intricately detailed engraving on paper captures the essence of the fashionable women's wear of the time, with a short-sleeved empire gown featuring an empire line and a full, voluminous skirt. The dress is adorned with delicate floral patterns and subtle color variations, reflecting the refined taste and sophistication of the period. The fashion plate also includes a fashionable hat, topped with a plume, adding an air of elegance and glamour to the ensemble. The hat's wide brim and high crown were popular accessories for formal occasions during this time. John Bell, a renowned engraver and publisher, created this hand-colored engraving to provide inspiration and guidance to women seeking to keep up with the latest fashion trends. The fashion plate was likely published in a magazine or as a standalone print, and would have been highly prized by those who could afford to keep up with the latest styles. This fashion plate is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the fashionable world of the early 19th century. Today, it is preserved and displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and delight visitors with its intricate details and beautiful coloration.
